*The Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS 
2020) *

Paris, France. April 20-23, 2020

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section

*_SDS 2020 CFP:_*

Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they 
are constructed and managed. Conventional control and management 
platforms are facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, 
dependability and security that next generation systems will require. 
The cloud computing paradigm has gone part of the way towards 
alleviating some of the problems associated with resource allocation, 
utilization and managements (e.g., via elasticity). However, many of the 
elements of a well-designed cloud environment remain “stiff” and hard to 
modify and adapt in an integrated fashion. This includes underlying 
networking topologies, many aspects of the user control over IaaS, PaaS 
or SaaS layers when such is needed, construction of XaaS services, 
provenance and meta-data collection, and so on. In many situations the 
problem may be because service abstraction is inadequate. Software 
Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added software components 
which help abstract actual IT equipment and other layers. One classical 
example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation provides a great 
opportunity for system administrators to more easily construct and 
managing their systems through flexible software layers.

Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN), 
Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization), 
Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), 
and ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few 
possibilities. Individual solutions and seamless integration of these 
abstractions remains in many respects a challenge. After the high 
success of the previous editions (SDS'2014, SDS'2015, SDS'2016, 
SDS'2017, SDS'2018, SDS' 2019), The Seventh International conference on 
Software Defined Systems 2020 (SDS'2020) will continue to be a forum for 
scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their 
latest research results, ideas, and developments in the area of software 
defined systems – both components and their integration - and by 
implication advancement of next generation clouds.

SDS 2020 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of 
Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions 
that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS 2020 
is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to 
discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all 
aspects of Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by 
IEEE France Section.

*_Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings :_*

Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 
11" two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted 
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 
pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers 
must present original unpublished research that is not currently under 
review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these 
guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received 
after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately 
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program 
Chair for further information or clarification.

All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted 
papers will appear in the FMEC Proceeding, and be published by the IEEE 
Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be submitted to IEEE 
Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must include original work, and 
must not be under consideration for another conference or journal. 
Submission of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE 
paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and 
e-mail address, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author. 
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the 
conference. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but that 
could not be accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short 
papers. Length of short papers can be between 4 to 6 pages.
